A Few Questions Answered

Why use an online newsletter and not just send from my internet email program?

  1. Many internet service providers only allow you to send to 25 people at once. If you had 1000 people on your mailing list your have to send your message 40 times.
  2. Because you aren't a commercial email provider (like Spinning Planet) your email message may get identified as spam and be automatically deleted.
  3. You can't automatically address people that your sending bulk message to such as "Hi Mary"
  4. You can't prepare your newsletter early and then schedule them to send at important time such as 2 weeks before Christmas or even just monthly.
  5. You can't track if people are reading your newsletter or if they are clicking on a link in your newsletter.
  6. Your email messages may not adhere to anti spam laws.

Our Newsletter system can do all of the above and much more.

Why do I have to pay an annual fee?

This amount is additional to your normal web hosting fee because email traffic requires a lot more of our resources such as data usage, support, monitoring, and security than normal website traffic.

We try to keep the annual cost as low as possible because we know this service is important to you and can be extremely beneficial to your sales strategies.
